Vertexmacht and Bohemia Interactive have just released the Global Mobilization- Cold War Germany DLC for Arma 3.
This DLC is the first release in the Creator program, where Bohemia Interactive partners with popular modding teams to turn their creations into full-fledged commercial content.
Global Mobilization- Cold War Germany, as its name implies, brings Arma 3 back to the late 1980s and focuses on a fictional conflict between East and West Germany. You can watch the launch trailer above.
The DLC is set in the northern plains of Germany, and features 419 square kilometers of playable terrain across 10 campaign missions and 17 multiplayer scenarios. The DLC also includes tons of authentic Cold War gear, including 42 vehicles and 21 infantry firearms. The new DLC costs $22.99, and is available via Steam.
Here’s a rundown of the new content:
Willkommen! It’s time for you to return to the Cold War. With its bombastic amounts of new original content, the Global Mobilization – Cold War Germany Creator DLC for Arma 3 invites you to live and breathe the military conflict between the two Germanies in the 1980s. Ride into armored combat against a determined enemy that easily outnumbers you. Experience warfare from the perspective of infantry reinforced with APCs. Or breach the historic inner German border to force the enemy’s hand in battle. Which side of the wall will you fight for? Besides the West and East German armies, this DLC pack also includes Denmark as a smaller but viable military faction.
Key Features:
Weferlingen Terrain
Located in the northern plains of Germany, Weferlingen offers the largest Arma terrain released so far: 419 square kilometers of usable area. It’s modeled after a real-world location in 1983, and uses entirely new assets – providing you with a unique experience that gives Arma 3 an entirely fresh look and feel. Explore nearly 50 fully destructible settlements in both West and East Germany, prepare your ambushes from scattered wooded areas, or have tanks battle each other at great distances on farmland – with each presenting its own major challenges.
The Weferlingen terrain is also available in a special winter variant. After all, the Cold War should stay cold. Each of the available multiplayer scenarios can be played on this version of the terrain as well.
In addition, be sure to check out the terrain’s largest dominating feature: the inner German border – a part of the famous Iron Curtain that was faithfully recreated using formerly classified documents. As a result, the Weferlingen terrain lets you take Arma 3 and turn it into a digital museum.
